My 22 shoots 1/2" groups at 50 yards/meters all day! Really? Prove it!

Quick question, of all the successful shooters do you have the stats on how many used full rest such as a Caldwell, how many bipod sand how many just bags. So far I have tried with bags and bipod with no luck, my best has been 3 of 5 under 1/2 but always seem to lose a round or two. I have yet to try with a fancy front and rear rest, (too cheap to get one for just this challenge)

You can buy a front rest pretty cheap, I bought mine from better buy sports for 40-60$ ( don’t remember exactly but it was cheap) and it seems to do the trick. They are better than bipods or bags in my opinion because they are so adjustable. You are using a 455 as well if I remember correctly?

Darn flyers or maybe operator error but two shot (circled in black sharpie) not even 5mm from closest prevented me from claiming the 1/2 inch challenge.

Ammo was SK Flatnose Match...but loking I had one flyer on all target just that three of them weren't as bad

You're almost there, keep trying.

 

[Poffels]

Yep, keep trying. I have a couple CZ's recently posted and had them out again today only to come home cursing them,me rests,ammo, wind and anything else I could think of!

The top/bottom left ones look really promising!

Yes, congratulations to Mrs. Underthegun. She shoots well for a new shooter. She has a good coach when needed.

Very nice rifle !

 

[RifleDude]

Excellent groups. However, they're smaller than you indicated. When you measure the group from the outside edges, you have to subtract one caliber from the measurement to get the real group size. Group sizes are measured between the centres of the farthest holes in the group.

He has his calipers zeroed to the bullet diameter.

Ah, you are correct, I can see now that the mechanical scale and digital scale are offset by the caliber amount. Thanks for pointing that out.

Just acquired this as is from Dlask. Most accurate semi-auto I have ever owned.
Dlask Tuff-22, 18.5" SS Dlask barrel, Hogue stock, BX Trigger which pulls @ 3.5 lbs. that will be sent to Brimstone for tuning.
Tried various ammo except top grade and it seems to like Center-X.
Scope is a Leupold Mark 4 8.5x25. Caliper zeroed at .220"

.269
.495
.275
.286
.471

AVG = .359

 

[Underthegun]

Sorry EHG I missed your post. Nice shooting. I added you to the successful list.

 

[djosselyn311]

You got an awesome shooter, EHG! Impressive shooting.

Thanks, I'm impressed with the rifle. I've owned many semi-auto .22's in the past including a few 10/22's, but nothing even remotely compares with the fit and accuracy of this one.
The chamber is tighter than a sporter and it just engraves the bullet on CCI SV ammo. It's what I ordered and appears to have a Bentz type chamber after measuring fired cases.
